Photo site

if I wanted to display several sprite photos...what's the preferred way in a post. Is there a site ideal like Instagram? I don't have an account there yet but I thought I'd see what most do. I figured 10+ photos might be using more bandwidth but really unsure

Photo sites don't do anyone any favors. Half of them are just poorly disguised malware dumps. At best they eventually link rot. Use the attachment system. That's what it's for.

To my surprise, I posted 12 attachments here for the first time recently. I found out it's possible.

@maxman. Thanks I have lots more of Star wars Sprites for a Shmup-type shooter need some more angles...these are just a few samples tho. Also I have several Death Star and Star Destroyers close and far with multi-angles and trench and cannon textures. I compiled lots of sounds of TIE's an X-wings audio. The Empire and Rebel alliance laser shots (special effects) turned out well. I created those and still have various ships like Slave One, Falcon, TIE Bomber and TIE Interceptor . Most of these came from one sprite just angled or rotated. I assumed by simply shifting the ship might be a way of a offensive move. So I was going to ask Bloodbane if in Rainbow if on terrain areas if applied some death star textures for maybe a level that took place near the trenches would that maybe work for now...until I understand terrain a little more. I'm still a little mixed up at how I want things to flow but I been thinking LOL. It would be interesting to have something kind of short at first and later try to expand it with more missions. Maybe include a multiplayer dogfight if that would even work. Maybe with shields and some kind of repair droid meter chosing to fly for the Empire or Rebels. That could be fun if handled correctly.

@Bloodbane Hey friend. I think I got it. One problem solved my instincts were right the pics were just too big. I brought them down in size considerably. I managed to get the X-wing in although my lens is scratched and photo stinks. (1st pic below) I'm not sure what the steps are but eventually I select apply palette to the images or something like that in FF studio and if the properties say it was just modified that works and the palette no longer fails to load. So it's by accident but I get there.. HA!


The key is I only keep one pic in that folder though I keep my originals separately because whatever I do I am applying it to all pics in the folder. So I just keep working folders so I can delete them anytime if something goes wrong. It's by accident but I do it eventually. I just wish I could remember the steps and understood more about what I am doing lol.

Now I just need to add some TIE'S, space etc., and some Death Star terrain pictured below. I'm so glad rainbow has the crash-able terrain hope to learn from that. If you have any ideas though still please let me know! Rainbow has been invaluable in terms of reference. You have my thanks!
